Well I am trying to finish up the last few things on the motor. I polished up the Patxon bracket and now I am getting ready to line up the new 8-rib pulleys.
As I go to bolt on the timing cover and the blower bracket I realise something. None of the bolts that go into the heads fit. Not one. All of the bolt holes are smaller in diameter then the original heads. SO none of the bolts from the Paxton bracket work. Including the bolts that have the hex key heads.
Not only that but none of the bolts for the timing cover work either. Except for the ones that spin into the block. So now what? I am going to have to pay through the ass for Paxton to send me out the proper bolts only to hope they are the right ones.
So much for a simple bolt on head swap for the new motor.
So if anyone know what size bolts are they or what should I ask for? At this rate I won't have a chance to drive it this summer.
